ECL Software Announces Successful Completion of SSAE 16 (SOC 1) Audit

Torrance, CA, January 16, 2016 --(PR.com)-- ECL Software, a leading creator of management and risk mitigation software solutions for the construction and banking industries, has announced the successful completion of its first Service Organization Control (SOC 1) Type I audit.

The audit served a key role in demonstrating ECL’s commitment to excellence in a field requiring the strictest quality control. As ECL Chief Financial Officer Fred Shemirani put it:

“We are very much focused on providing highly controlled and secure solutions to our clients. Our goal is to comply with strict data security protocols for banks and financial institutions.”

The audit was conducted in accordance with the AICPA SOC reporting standards by SSAE 16 Professionals, LLP, a full service accounting firm providing SSAE 16 (SOC 1) and SOC 2 audits. The audit evaluated ECL Software's design effectiveness of internal controls and processes related to internal controls over financial reporting and showed them to be well within compliance.

About SSAE 16 (SOC 1) Reports

SSAE 16 (SOC1) audits, which have effectively replaced SAS 70 reports, are in accordance with Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16, for purposes of complying with internal controls at a Service Organization over financial reporting. SOC 1 reports are commonly used by the following:

- Management of the service organization (the company who has the SOC 1 performed),
- User entities of the service organization (service organization’s clients), and
- The user entities’ financial auditors (user auditor). The report can assist the user entities’ financial auditors with laws and regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. A SOC 1 enables the user auditor to perform risk assessment procedures.
